This novel of literary fiction contains an imperative story of two adult sisters who are tormented by post traumatic stress disorder due to early childhood sexual abuse and incest. The sisters are surrounded by a number of diverse and colorful characters. Some are dealing with a similar issue. The novel brilliantly brings out this pervasive issue from the darkness into the light. Within this one family, generational childhood sexual abuse and incest had been a thorn and crime for many years affecting three generations of females. The author takes the sisters, Doris and Sarah, through treacherous waters and storms to a peaceful shore of self-realization, healing, forgiveness and reconciliation. They transform from being victims to victors. Doris and Sarah emerge as courageous survivors minus the negative psychological baggage. With courage and sheer bravery, they thrive without the shackles of shame, anger, hate, blame and complicity. The reader will be able to walk into picturesque scenes where there are examples of sheer endurance, love, humor and, of course, confusion/conflict as the characters allow the reader to witness the magic of human resiliency and courage. After reading this book, one can say that courage is the best virtue of all. And remember that "Fortune favors the brave." THE FACT: One in three girls is sexually abused before the age of 18 One in six boys is sexually abused before the age of 18 It is estimated that there are 60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in America today.
